GT2X is here at last

[Shock_Xe]

Sorry I should have elaborated if you already have a K04 or hybrid (Like Robdon) it's not worth the money for the small gain over the k04. As it only flow slightly more! My car holds 1.1/1.2 bar at 7k so not that much better IMO.

true but what u need to consider is how long does each turbo hold onto that power level for.... i.e. the k04 may only hold 290bhp for 1.5k rpm but the garret may hold it for 3k rpm Im NOT Saying this is the case but an example.... peak numbers are not everything its in the delivery where it matters

Was hearing about this from guy with grey corsa turbo.
Is am04 turbo water cooled?

True enough, but from the plots i've seen on the US sites looks quite slow to spool! Would be nice to see some of cupra_matt and Robdon's plots

yes the AM04 uses all standard lines for oil and water.

Would that be Muppetsport from corsasport by any chance?

You are right, it is quite slow to spool. Nothing much happens below 3000rpm,Starts building from 3000rpm and has you pinned in your seat from 3500rpm.

Its a really nice smooth power delivery. What is supprising is 1st gear is ridiculous as expected, but as soon as you pop it in to 2nd it just grips and goes with no fuss or spinning. Quite amazing for a front wheel drive car.
Obviously coming out of corners it spins up and the weather is baking at the moment so the tarmac and tyres are grippy, iam sure in the wet it will be totally different.

I will try and get power graph on here but my scanner doesn't work.

I also removed N249 yesterday, didn't extend any wires so N112 is sitting on top of brake fluid bottle and N249 is still plugged in on other side of boost pipe.

A couple more pics

Yeah it was muppetsport. Was it easy to remove ur N249 valve? Was asking him wen u's were next going upto crail?

N249 is easy to remove, not sure on next crail date cause iam getting married in 2 weeks then got honeymoon.

Cool well next 1 u goto gives a pm n ill come along wouldnt mind seeing it go up the strip against muppetsport's corsa

Yeah will let you know, dont think i will be beating his corsa, his best time so far is a 13.3, not gonna reach that i dont think.

 

[beattie17]

He recon's you shouldnt be far off him.Would think you should get 13.5's?

Mid 13's is realistic i think, will just have to wait and see.

 

[beattie17]

Whats next for it? clutch and lsd?

 

[davidol]

when you writing this fitting guide! looks good, going to bling up and tidy the engine bay or is it all go no show kinda thing?

 

[cupra_matt]

Whats next for it? clutch and lsd?

Not sure to be honest mate, probaby a Apexi AVCR boost controller.

Yeah will get on with guide, sorry for the delay....

And yeah iam gonna tidy up under the bonnet at some point, i fancy powder coated rocker cover and inlet mani.

So you can set boost for different gears etc?

 

[davidol]

no as far as im aware matts using the standard ibizas AYP ecu which'll mean it can be mapped for the turbo comfortably but extra features such as adjustable boost for each gear, lauch control etc is only available with advanced aftermarket ecus

 

[cupra_matt]

Yeah its the standard ECU with a new chip inside it, (dont ask me what) then mapped to suit car.

Yeah apexi is good for gear judge etc, different levels of boost on channel A & B.
and alot more accurate.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

How much room is back there with this turbo?
Assuming the GTRS is slightly bigger do you think that would actually fit looking at the room available on yours?

 

[cupra_matt]

There is reasonable amount of room, but when speaking to Jim @ Star he said the GTRS is a nightmare to fit. If you want to put the large intake on it for over 310BHP then it fowls on the gearbox and the selector cables.

Mine is a very very tight fit around the selector cables.
